need help

[theGR8shazam]

when i was due to be born i was up the wrong way, once they turned me, i came out and i had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck and legs,

when when i was young, i think i was at junior school, i had an accident, i was climbing the wooden frames (the frames you pull out amd lock in place and when finished with would be put back against the wall and locked in place) in the p.e hall, got to the top and was supposed to go over the top and back down the other side, but before i got a chance to go over the top i missed placed my foot and fell from the top of the frame, i landed on the floor, and got up and went to walk about, the next thing i new was i was in hospital on a back board, i collapsed apparently! i was told i would never walk again and i proved every one wrong, i learned to walk again, i was then told that as a result of the accident i had and the damaged to my neck and back, i would have torticollis,

anyway years and years later,

i began to work at orange, i was on the second floor up, i began to feel unwell anyway, i started to feel dizzy and light head and sick, the room was spinning, i was then sent home and i went to the walk in clinic, and explain about the way i felt, they diagnosed it as labrinthitis/vestibular nuritis, im doctor put me on the sick and now im on incapacity benefit i've recently had some tests but the tests came back negitive,

now once again im having problems with my lower back, middle of my back and top of my back, shoulders and neck, so im currently seeing a physiotherapist

could somebody tell me if this could all be linked together and thats why i suffer if back and neck problems and dizziness and light headedness,

i've tryed to talk to my doctor and its like talking to your self.........

Hi katscarebear35,

I had the same problem at birth and came blue, it's not done me any harm.

I know it's hard to communcate with doctors when there are several things that seem unrelated going on, and when tests come back negative it can be bewildering.

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago, where some tests came back negative and positive. But nobody seemed to be able to put them all together. Added to that, it causes a lot of stress and concern because it's nature to think of the worst outcome and what it will do to your livelihood. Therefore, I think it's important that you take someone with you when you talk to the doctor next so they can hear what's said too.

It's possible that you may have experienced a panic attack because of all the anxiety generated by everything else going on. That maybe a question you can ask your GP, and if he/she agrees then a short course of CBT may help.

Anxiety won't help with your back and neck problems and therefore any relief through CBT, breathing exercises of exercise in general will help your general wellbeing.

But whatever you do, don't let things lie with your GP, get the answers because it's your right to know, but take someone with you.

Namaste,
Myarka.

HI very sorry to hear your feeling like this, but i would just like to say Myarka's advice about taking some 1 with you is Fab advice, when i first saw my GP about my back she actually laughed (no joke).
Next time my wife went with me (she is not as reserved as me) and made her take me seriously and to cut a long story short ended up having surgery on my back. If it was up to me i would have never gone back after being made to feel like a fraud.
